001yeah so as a matter of fact you know what well well i've got him here here's your point of contact her name is sarah and her number okay so we'll reach out tomorrow um yes sir all right of the united states of america and to be republican to stand one nation god indivisible with liberty and justice for all thank you sir so moved check it on the second discussion yes thank you okay you do not have anyone on the line call the republic okay superintendent information report please again this is information only and uh there are no questions to be asked i believe we're gonna start with preschool first okay is it okay because i know that um is taking a class that's starting at six that she's gonna attend yeah i'm doing a community
002of practice on um with steam with stem education and it start at six and they're doing a marble roller coaster so i said i'm gonna be late but i'll do that so it's all these online experiences that we're eligible to do this year because of comments so it's nice um okay so i just um wanted to update you on what's going on with the preschool and basically you know we're in the same boat as everybody else so we're social distancing we are wearing masks most of our children wear masks i think we have one child that really has a hard time with it but most of them are wearing them we have all of their basic supplies like for example sand and water and dramatic play they each have a shoe box for each one
003so each have a water shoe box they have a sand shoe box they're plastic of course they have a dramatic clay one they have a lego one so we have all these different materials for each child it's a lot of management materials we also have a lot less children this year because of the social differences so in our full-time room well i'm going to get to that but um we are we're doing it and we're making it work so it's been an interesting year this is our mission statement which we did not change this year but it's basically we're part of the school district but we also are focusing on young child you can change um so our current numbers right now we have 27 children on campus and we have 12 that are still
004virtual i'm doing a zoom every day for half an hour and i have 12 children that attend that regularly plus our children who are in the classrooms are going to that as well um it's a sort of a model where they're playing along while i'm teaching along so we'll do things like um i'll read a book and then we'll do practicing our writing and they'll get out their notebooks and they're writing and they're holding up their their answers so i can see them we have another time with math and they have their dry erase boards and they're doing their you know they're writing their numbers and they're using their play-doh to make like today with six teams they made 16 cookies at play-doh and it's very interactive then we do a show-and-tell time which is
005their favorite and those kids at home are actually linked with the kids who are on campus so they're able to see the show and tell items it's it's very it's very delightful and one time a child was just just a side note a child was pretending to talk and i said uh armando i can't hear you you know i think your microphone's off and his mom's like he's just pretending so this little four-year-old is like basically you know anyways it was kind of fun um so we do have children on campus and off campus we still have about 16 of our kids our special needs and i'll get into what kind of special needs admit that we have that's in my class which is an inclusion room which runs three days a week i have
006a morning class which is younger children and an afternoon class which is older children going to kindergarten then online we have mostly you can just see that number's there go ahead and go on the next one um so we have 16 categories of special ed and 16 of those kids 16 out of 16 get speech language therapy currently that's virtual so we have a computer set up with a with a chromebook and the children sit and do their speech with with miss viasteros at her home it's one and one at a time the kids are kept engaged and they're having they're actually making a lot of progress occupational therapy is coming in they do some inclusion so they work with them in the classroom they also pull them out into my office one child receives
007physical therapy and does a lot with the teachers to help us find the right materials for the children and what kind of study we have three children who have identified as autism we have one child who is hearing impaired we do have one child who's visually impaired just started with us and two of the students are open enrolled okay so the next one it currently costs 150 a week for parents to pay if they are their special education of course they're not paying for the time that they're here part-time sessions are still 25 a day which is three hours we have two three and five days uh schedules we're not doing after school care this week this year because of cohort mixing but it was fifty dollars per week and we just charged the same
008rate whether it's an early dismissal week or not um special kids do that yeah we do use uh department of economic security to help pay for our services and they have actually been a very major funder for us this year they provide grant opportunities which probably kept us afloat so even though we only have a very small number of children three or four children who are getting that support we've gotten quite a bit of support from them this year so it's really something that's it's a good thing that we did that and then registration piece okay this is our financial information as of april 5th so this was our revenue in 2019 and compared to now so you can see it's quite a bit less our expenditures are also less because some of our staff
009are still on furlough we're currently on a really bare bones kind of number of staff members just myself and three other individuals we normally have seven or eight people working in the preschool but we've just managed to trim back as much as we possibly can because we realize we're you know really working with a much smaller amount of revenue this year almost everything that we make we use on on our staff the preschool pays for the staff salaries except for my salary which comes out of mno because i'm also the special special education teacher for preschool and the director we did have a nice carry over thirty thousand dollars this year which really helped us out too that's just open enrollment keep going this is kind of what they do all day which is you
010know basic preschool stuff we keep them really busy it looks different than it did last year but really it's very much the same we do allow the children to interact but we encourage them to wear masks as much as possible but we don't make them stay like in little rows with their you know that's just not possible with freeze points you can go ahead and go to the next one so this is kind of the staff we have so far i've been in the district since 1990 um my co-lead who is uh who's worked with me she's working for 14 years and then i have two other parapros who worked for me six years each the other positions have been one of them was furlough two of them were furloughed and one person resigned in
011january and we did not replace her we just decided to make do as best we could with what we have quite internally we do a lot of training on site as you know i'm my doctorate in education so i do a lot of training with my staff we also have to participate in a lot of things from des and other places the community practice like i'm doing one tonight there are many of those through first things first arizona and so we're able to participate in these educational opportunities i'm participating in four of them this year um which is a lot but since it's online you know you're not driving phoenix so i'm doing one i did one which was a director's institute so every month i had um well actually that one was weekly you
012had an assignment from university of florida online um went through all the different things we got to learn everything we possibly wanted to learn about preschool revenue which was very depressing and a lot of other things too so i got to do that one and network with directors from all over the state which was really cool i'm doing a stem one then there's also one with make way for books that i'm doing which is an advanced course on children's literature that we use in the classroom and they provide books to our children both for in the classroom for the kids to check out and they even give us a couple books a year for the children to take home because i participate in that also our staff some of our staff are doing a resiliency
013community practice which is pretty cool they meet once a month um and also there's one on uh basically the basics of child development which i was actually a speaker for that class and i participated as well that's monthly too so four of us are doing that one so we have we're really engaged as a staff in education we do a book group every year and we work on it each month so that's something too we're always doing our training we have to have at least 18 hours a year so that's never a problem because we get started so the reason i'm coming to you is that we really need to raise our tuition we've had the same tuition rate for a really long time i'm comfortable in the community so los nios del bay and
014shepherd's gold preschool are the two in green valley they're both at 170 we're still 150. they are open a little bit more than we are um i just looked it up and cerritas is 180 a week and there's a new one in rancho cerita called um bye wrote us down the name of the place he's lutheran preschool i think it is and it's 2 30 a week so um so i really think that it's overdue that we raise our tuition um we're talking about a two dollar a week i mean a day raise which would be from one from 150 to 160 part time would go from 25 dollars a day to 27 a day after care from 50 to 60 and we are going to be having early dismissal days every wednesday so there
015would be more care involved with that um that's basically what we're recommending i did figure it out that for our staff our staff we currently give a 30 discount to our staff which is a really healthy discount this would only be a seven dollar uh raise seven dollar increase for them per week which is not too terribly bad um i just feel like we we i'm just worried that we're not going to be able to continue to be financially solvent with the amount of tuition that we're collecting um you can go ahead and go to the next one so that's all i have the hours are well right now they're 7 to 3. normally they are 7 15 to 5. we have tried going later and what we find is that it's super dark up
016here and most people can get here by five so um it's a little bit that's why we we tried different times and five seems to work but we're always kind of watching that and also jenny i just want to commend you and i told you before that after you know 29 30 years in education that jenny is should be the poster child for continuous learning and staff development because she is not afraid to learn new things teach new things try new things she's always up with best practices and things that you've implemented and trainings that you've done and attended so thank you because you still have that energy and working with preschool and kinder kids is is not easy and you're doing a great job with your program so thank you we are also doing
017a toddler zoom this year which is free to parents we used to have a parent we called it mom dad grand man and tots long name but whatever included program on monday mornings and since we couldn't have them on site we put them on they're on a zoom so it's monday fridays and that's just 15 minutes but it's really cute that's really adorable we have some kids in high chairs for them so like today there's four so it's it's something small we can do to kind of get a little bit of you know early childhood out there so yeah so we hope to be full next year and back to our normal capacity and our normal staffing and all that it's just been a very a year of us being very very careful with what
018we're spending and trying very hard to be good stewards of what we have thank you 160 enough well i i don't want to crush the system too much like a graduated increase i mean from like from if we do 160 oh and look at it again in a year yeah fold increases ten dollars a week every year oh really wow yeah so that's um i know we haven't had we don't have a history of increasing on a regular basis and i think that is something to think about but we've also really we've been very fortunate that we've done you know really well with how we've been able to collect revenue so we've been able to do pretty well i don't know exactly why but so we can put it on our may agenda our main
019board agenda for approval and discussion okay so do you need to come back we can put it on the agenda but i don't okay if we have questions you know beforehand because we'll have time to prepare the item okay for the agenda right okay well thank you thank you very much go play with your marbles have fun thank you jenny ricco you're up okay well i'm going to apologize in advance for the slides because we do have a lot of information to cover so i will um speak quickly but there is a lot of information on this report so preparations for 2021 and 2022 we've had interview panels have been formed with various grade level teachers to interview for vacancies in the past continental was not used to having teachers classroom teachers on interview panels
020so four years ago when i became superintendent we started to invite teachers to be part of the process because i truly feel that if you're going to get a grade level team member the team needs to have a say in who they're going to be working with so we've interviewed 20 candidates the last few weeks and our interview committees of staff change pending what position we're hiring for so we have an elementary but we always include a middle school teacher in that realm also and vice versa specialists when it came to hiring our pe teacher and our music teacher definitely including our specialist team changes are being made to meet long-term content planning and instructional goals so again we look at our staff and placing staff in the right seats of our bus or in
021the right spot on our ship in terms of performance and how they're doing teaching their content and how we um recommendations that mrs huevos and i and mr nathan have come two different agreements to move staffing around and obviously working with christine on hr title one our integrated action plans our curriculum committee and admin advisory committees have worked to identify our primary instructional needs and develop strategies and action steps committee members are also working on adding metrics to our strategic plan so all of this is due and uploaded to title 1 by may 1st so that's the work that the teachers have done that we'll be putting into the system for title 1. the integrated action plan has to be done before they release any of our title funds we also had our title 1
022audit cycle 4 program monitoring and our areas of strength we're listed that continental has built a strong relationship between staff parents and community with all the evidence that we had to provide the lea which is the district has a system in place to track student data with linkit including the student data binders for students to track their own progress and district level employees are knowledgeable and supportive of the school level activities which the title one auditors were very impressed with that the left hand mills with the right hand is saying and that albert and deanna and steve can speak to initiatives that are not necessarily in their area areas of growth were again the evaluation of program effectiveness and that comes from when we do our family nights and when we see the committee work
023in terms of us reporting on the number of parents who participated what was the expected outcome which in turn did we increase participation do we have goals to increase participation every year and how do we personally reach out to the students that are not attending so we'll be working on that the other thing that came up was that the lea the district needs to establish a clear delineation between the district and school levels that this will support the completion of our comprehensive needs assessment and our um plans our layup and our site up which is in terms of what we turn in title one set aside title change title point at the district level so it's hard because our school is still one school one building normally for title purposes each school develops their plan
024and then the district does one culminating plan of all the district plans so mrs cuevas will be using doing the psyop which is the school integrated piece of the plan and then i will fill the district plan what i've done in the past is i've done both so mr suebus is ready to get into the system and start to input the plans that the teachers are developing message from ade this came directly from them is pleased to announce that continental elementary district has successfully completed its cycle for programmatic monitoring and will progress to cycle fight without further follow-up ad looks forward to providing continued professional development resource and guidance to support your commitment to meeting the expectations set forth by essa providing a well-rounded and equitable education for all students and i should mention with
025a hundred thousand dollars less next year than what we received this year in title funds we also had our english language program monitoring so mrs sabo mrs cuevas and i worked on compiling the plus documents needed for our el audit so we are pleased to announce that we have zero finding and are not on corrective action in terms of our ell students and just a shout out to miss sable for all her hard work and attention to detail with that because it was a lot of hours that we had to put into getting the documentation and abe system has changed in how they're auditing in all the areas so they have new systems that ade staff was learning as well so and it was a extensive process we also had a people withdrawal audit so
026thank you monica for providing the required information for that our office staff along with admin teams attended people withdrawal audit training and what they wanted were they asked us for the specifics of students who have withdrawn and the documentation that we have and how we code the students so many registration processes and forms have changed throughout the years and ad does not have a systematic way of notifying sites so registrars are expected to check ade website regularly for updates which is what they tell us in all the title ones so it's almost like we have to have someone sitting with the ada website on all day to kind of surf through all the departments to see what changes have been made so we did attend the audit training so that we can get up to
027speed with the processes of withdrawals and the coding capital budget committee so mr sherpa schubert mr sherbert over here has formed the capital budget committee to establish school-wide needs and to prioritize needs which is also something that he brought forth that we had not done in the past at continental so we brought different staff members together different departments ms vinson was part of it mr ferguson some of our regular classroom teachers to really look at our capital budget spending priorities so the following projects are being worked on as we speak the chromebook replacements teacher laptops campus white shade structures the new bus rotation the fourth and fifth grade playground new top soil and seed and looking at science and ela curriculum for future so those are the priorities that we all came to consensus in
028what we can start to deal with now so thank you mr schubert new math adoption update so as a reminder the reveal curriculum has been displayed in the conference room and community room and it's there in the back no one from the public has come to review the curriculum even though we've announced it and that parents know there's a binder available with the scoring rubric pricing and additional information i know that mr olerie and mr mcgivin spent time looking over the curriculum and mr owery actually took some of the pieces home so if any of you would like to take any of the manuals home you could peruse them at your leisure and reveal math is a new elementary curriculum for mcgraw hill it is vertically aligned k-12 with core math solutions and we use
029lacrosse hill for eighth grade algebra currently according to edreports.org that rates in vets curriculum in the following areas focused on coherence rigor and mathematical practices and usability reveal math meets the expectations in all of the areas as opposed to partially meeting or does not meet the expectations and again we will be coming to ask for governing board approval in may for the reveal math curriculum better together southern arizona coalition so we do have a school resource committee who meets monthly and we're working on providing additional counseling resources for students via thrive curriculum our school counselor and her intern have been trained in the thrive curriculum and we are planning to offer it during summer school here identifying some of our students who need that social emotional support we know that it's going to be needed
030and we are all schools are going to have to beef up their social emotional learning pieces because we do have parents even now saying kids are anxious about coming to school you know we're trying to get kids to come back to school and i really think that counseling is gonna you know be at the forefront for students and parents we're also planning the let's talk shift with saurita in the fall that will include our student advisory students and if you recall the year before last we started with the group of let's talk shift and kids were really talking about problems in schools and peer pressure and bullying and suicide so we have a committee of our students who participate with that group and it's going to be a big another conference for kids to attend
031with a lot of the counselors that they've been working with as a result of the school resource committee better together connect our students program just albert has been very involved with this committee in terms of ensuring that our parents have connectivity our kinder chromebooks have arrived and will be deployed after testing and albert completed a google form in lieu of paper forms for students to register for those low-cost high-speed internet so we currently have four families who are participating and we're trying to figure out how do we reach out to more eight more have expressed interest and two additional families have filled out the form so we're hoping to get continue to get the word out our marketing and public relations efforts so we have secured a spot on the quarterly kgb wine news with
032continental highlights so we're excited about that um in the telephone book as you recall do you receive the telephone book dude look at it do you see it shelley do you guys get the telephone book delivered in quail creek to you i think i threw it away okay well before you throw it away here is a 2020 was our world's largest letter and staff effort was on the front of the telephone book and this year we were able to have to put this piece of the continental school district 100 years and still going strong is in the paper thanks to mr crew pepperettes um mr schubert did not want to pay for the page so that's why my picture is not on here or mrs cuevas but we nevertheless we have continental in the newspaper
033in the phone book but what we also noticed is that we're not listed under the schools so we need to figure out why but so what's the little red schoolhouse is what's going to be in the first quarterly news of kgby so just let me know and mr oluri i don't know if we made the quail creek news better in terms of advertising for substitutes and drivers placed in the message board okay okay so just wanted to make sure you knew of that in the green valley news we had an article on sarsap which was our science fair that met puebla spoke to at our last meeting in terms of all of our winners so i thought it was um a great article with pictures of the actual kids and their projects so that was
034exciting we're advertising our vacancies on several websites on our obviously our website arizona department of ed website there's another program called handshake that has that goes out to all the state universities and indeed and in the green valley views our enrollment projections so we have 14 new students have registered for next school year four students are from the new subdivision in madera highlands that we have been um speaking about and we 176 are returning students who have registered already 24 of the preschool students that miss jenny alluded to will be incoming kinders 35 incoming kinders have registered and we're continuing our kinder round of efforts on facebook and robocalls so spread the word that we need our kindergarten students to enroll and here is current enrollment so if you see on the bottom right we
035are down 38 students from where we were at the end of the year last year 1920 which is a four percent decrease in enrollment i know sunny sides at a four percent decrease mr um dr valenzuela had said that saurita was at a nine percent decrease in enrollment so we're sitting pretty good and we're expecting that we will recruit these students before fall allocated gap esser funds so we have received two rounds of esser funds sr1 was 50 000 allotment that went towards paying for a portion of summer salaries while putting together our coupon mitigation plan and planning for opening a school which freed up fifty thousand dollars in our mno funds for the year sr2 funding has been budgeted as follows and this was also in mr schubert's budget report that miss monica said
036to all of you after he presented it to our staff so again a breakdown of what our plans are for the sr2 funds and we looked at also continental is one of the districts that receive significantly less than the median amount of essa funds which are considered the gap funds so we're asking the state to consider this fact when they allocate funds in the budget and it just shows here that continental has received 250 000 as compared to saudi thus 1.5 million bales 1.7 and tanka verdi's 183 000. so there is a letter circulating on behalf of pimakami suits that we would like to send to governor ducey the senate in the house asking for additional dollars to be allocated to the schools who did not receive a lot of federal dollars and the governor
037received gear funds so i couldn't hear what the governor's education belief as part of the federal cares act on what was received so arizona did receive 69.2 billion yes 69.2 million for his emergency education relief and you can see here that 40 million went to school facilities board to expand broadband 19 million went to high need arizona schools and students for math and reading specialists parapros and other structures for learning and remediations which was the esser funds six million to the arizona teachers academy and so forth so we since the governor's funds were mainly for what you see visited here and were for high need schools we did not see any of these actual funds bundled down to continental allocated federal funds just showing here again what was in our budget was the title funds
038that are reducing so we will have a hundred thousand dollars less next year of federal funds to allocate in our grants okay grant writing plan and grant funded projects so we received a heritage grant which was two thousand dollars for the outdoor trail so we're going to start working on that now that um the people who have helped who are helping us with this grant have their vaccine so they're going to be coming in in the next few weeks to get started working with ms grimes and mr kratzer on things that might funnel through to summer school as well our rotary campus beautification earth day project we'll be planting flowers and flower beds so we will spruce up our campus to look good for promotions in the spring we're also forming a grant committee that
039will vet available grants right sample narratives and direct grants to appropriate personnel for submission for the future for next year changes to transportation services so effective july 5th we have been looking at our elephant head and montana vista locations so in elephant head we are going to discontinue bus service for students in the area of hawk and purple finch continuing to the east so we have an agreement with sawarita because currently they pick up there as well at elephant head so sawarita currently covers the area of a model which encompasses the elephant head area the majority of the students in elephant head live in the sawarita boundaries so we serve the back northeast corner of the area with a total of nine students who are eligible for transportation with only three of these students usually
040utilizing the service now so we send a bus out there for just three students so um saurita has agreed to honor open enrollment for the affected students the three that are using transportation and provide transportation to sawarita in turn we're taking the montana vista kid so remember the the woman that came to speak to us last time about the boundary change and how the property taxes said continental but she was actually in saudita school district for transportation at school so we're going to continue to service that area and if students live in montana vista we're going to approve their open enrollment and transport them so it's agreement that we made with celebrities so i want to thank mr lane for doing the homework with this and working with sauerita and intern dr valenzuela and i
041have been in communication and we thought this would be the easiest way to just do an internal agreement amongst each other and a letter has gone out already to our parents and so mr nain's had some conversations with the parents so it seems like everything is going well and they understand so yesterday presented at gcu for the four corners that next cohort of upcoming directors and superintendents on interpersonal and emotional intelligence and it's based on the book of john c maxwell which is the power of your potential so we had a good conversation about emotional potential and ability to manage your emotions and again reiterating that emotionally strong people are able to manage their emotions and process through difficulties so we spoke about the seven traits of emotionally strong people and i ran through the
042presentation with our leadership team with deanna and steve and again really looking at um this year especially i think has been a year of uh really truly having to show that emotional intelligence and being proactive in dealing with our own emotions as we come out and navigate um for parents and families and students to reassure them that we were moving in the right direction and then talking about people potential seven steps to help build stronger relationships with others and again these factors of caring about people every day and we often say you know kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care and the power of a teacher leader is researchers have found that even more than iq your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success
043and happiness in all walks of life including family relationships so i think that you know we really have tapped into our emotional intelligence this year especially with all the difficult decisions and school closure and what doing school has entailed upcoming events conferences and presentations we have career day may 5th it's virtual this year so we will um be letting you know who will be presenting so maybe you can pop into some of the speakers we will also be sending out the master list of speakers so that you can see and if we need any more people to fill in the blanks we might be calling you as board members to help us out aauw aauw i will be presenting to their group may 17th and they are the women's group who helped us with chromebooks
044they helped us with the letter of support for the override and obviously they send us a lot of tax credit funds our way the asba summer leadership institute will be virtual on june 11th registration opens april 19th so please any members please let monica know that we plan to attend so that we can get registered for the virtual event on june 11. the aziala's conference will be in person june 10th and 11th in phoenix so mrs huevos mr mayanos and i will be attending that and steve lane will also be attending the transportation administrators arizona conference june 21st through the 24th okay so reminder it's not an opportunity for questions but if you'd like anything to be presented in more detail at one of our future board meetings please let me know okay and again
045we will keep calm and sail on thank you thank you may i just make a point of clarification the esser funds were not distributed by the governor they were distributed and allocated by uh superintendent hoffman so our request to the governor is to reevaluate that distribution of funds but they were distributed by superintendent officers okay good thank you so i just wanted to give you an update we are in week two of acm to state testing our middle schoolers are testing this week today they did the writing for some of the tests last week our elementary students third through fifth grade did the writing test the reading test and the mathematics test and they all completed back in april of the science test our fifth graders and our eighth graders so state testing makeups will
046take place the week of april 19th for reading and math for grades third through eighth and writing makeups are taking place this week to meet the writing test deadline for our elementary students so our third fourth and fifth graders who did writing last week we have until friday the 16th to have all of them completed because they closed the window for the writing portion and we got to make sure we get that writing portion done because it also goes with the points that the students earn for the ela overall i wanted to talk a little bit since we're talking about testing and that aligns with data and it aligns with our teachers weekly formative assessments and the the notes that were taken on students for social emotional i wanted to talk about the problem space
047which is a learning gap i'm calling it the problem space the operators and the solutions that we're going to be utilizing to make sure that we are closing this space so our plan is we're starting already with after school tutorials for kindergarten they'll be having interventions middle school math and the la interventions will be taking place for intermediate fourth grade math interventions will be taking place and then we also have intermediate special education interventions that are have started will be starting fourth quarter benchmarks will be taking place the first week of may and the data outcomes will drive the targeted reteach and interventions for summer school so we're specifically going to also be looking at the data from fourth quarter benchmarks at all of our students kindergarten through 8th grade so we can target the
048interventions the small groups that will be taking place within our summer school program during the academic portions of that program so it's geared to one-on-one unique to the needs of those students and the problem space the learning gap that they have we have summer school students 84 students have been referred we're still collecting applications but 34 have confirmed attendance thus far and we're going to be sending more reminders and our teachers are also going to be letting their parents and students this question yeah question on that what do we do with the 50 students that have been referred to summer school but have not confirmed their attendance i mean this concerns me um because i they've been referred because they're not meeting standards um and if they don't go to summer school and they just
049gravitate to the next great level and when they haven't mastered the skills at the previous grade level i mean they're behind the eight ball really bad now i mean do we recommend to the parents that these kids stay back a year what what do we do with them well what we're going to have to do is with the students as we're still getting referrals brought in um mr layton and i need to be making one-on-one phone calls so we can discuss with those parents many of them were already seen during conferences because those were our dnf students but you know we have to touch base with the parents and explain to them exactly why they need to come to summer school but the importances of that and we'll keep you posted on the outcomes of
050that too as us touching base with the parents as well so for reteach and enrich we're going to be starting this next school year and the focus is going to be math this would be across all of grades this is the reteach and rich program is where it's basically stop for 30 minutes everybody's on board all of our staff all of our support staff but it's based off of the standards the progression how the students are learning the one thing we don't want to do which just creates more of a problem and a bigger gap is teaching a standard and you have a lot of students not understanding it and then we continue to move forward that's when students that's what creates these gaps so with your teaching enrich we're going to start with math
051as a focus next school year but that's when every week our teachers are going to be looking at how their students are doing how they're learning how they're progressing with the standard that they are teaching at that during that week or the course of those two weeks if the standard that they're teaching is going to take two weeks they have to look at that standard and see how their students if they're passing if they're understanding that standard if they are not we're going to have they have to be sent to re-teach so when we have those 30 minutes in our schedule those students who need to be re-taught will be re-taught by one of the teachers so let's say we have three teachers in fifth grade one of them may be the re-teach teacher but
052if it's a lot of students then we might have to have both teachers have to re-teach because it may not have been at that point a student problem it may have been a problem on how it was instructed so that's what our team will be meeting on so that they can make sure that we're re-teaching the standards before we move on and then if the students still do not understand once they do re-teach sessions for a week and they're retested again to see if they've gotten the standard and they understood they will then be referred to tutorials enrichment will be taking place at that same time daily for students who did master the standard but we're going to up the game here for them because we don't want them getting bored and we want them
053to be able to continue to make that progression instead of being held back and fall so after first quarter of the 2021-22 school year the dnf grades will be referred to after school tutorials and we will be starting saturday school we will be doing saturday school for second quarter and we'll see how that goes but we do really this needs to be basically like mr owen like you said this needs to be a non-negotiable because we can't fail our students and we really need to get our parents on board with all of the stuff we're doing and why why we're doing it so when we have our fault conferences we're going to be i think now i'm thinking about it up here i think we need to have probably before fall conferences start some type
054of an assembly or something for the families so we can talk to them about you know what saturday's school and tutorials are gonna look like but regression of students students who have regressed will be worked with one-on-one and in small groups with their teachers with targeted interventions and that's not just with the math focus for enrichment that's across all subject levels are there any other questions for that indiana as we talk about saturday school would be a good time to include some of our high school students who are trying to earn community service hours to come work with our students in specific content area mapping readings so that'll be something else that we can do to reach out will we provide transportation for that on saturday um that'll be something that we'll definitely look at
055for our budget if we mandate that they come it usually is where we offer transportation like summer school so we have students that have come and told me in passing they do not want to be doing saturday school so they're trying their very hardest that they have those discussions with their parents and conferences and so they know that that's coming update for promotion promotion events preschool and kindergarten promotion will be taking place on campus and it's going to be and the date that it's going to be taking place we just discussed that today was that is that thursday the week before yes so that will be prior to the last week of school and we were discussing the final details with with dr lipson today but she will be having three ceremonies that will be
056taking place each about 20 to 30 minutes and they're going to be taking place in the preschool slash kinder playground so we're going to set up some so everything will be organized and socially distanced for the families preschool promotion that's what we're just coordinating that right now and kindergarten promotion will take place tuesday may 18th 8 15 to 9 15. it was when i submitted this it was going to be in the gymnasium but we had a change of plans just because we're going to have everything already set up and the logistics of it all breaking down and having to try to reset so we're going to have everything be in the north basketball court and our kindergarten students will have their promotion out there and each of them will be getting four guest tickets
057per student and it will also be live stream we're going to have a senior walk through ceremony which is our continental colts alumni tuesday may 18th from 10 to 11 30 this is going to be the first time that i get to see this tradition that i've heard so much about where our high school seniors come by and they're tapping down correct and they walk through so all the other students can see them and see how the success that they've had in school and our eighth grade promotion will be taking place wednesday may 19th at from 8 45 to 10 and change of plans it's not the football field we're going to have everything be on the basketball port the north basketball court because of the speakers everything that we need to put out there
058that's going to be the best place for it we're going to be having fourth quarter awards assembly friday may 14th for students grades pre-k through 8. they can be recognized for their hard work and we're excited because this is going to be the first assembly that we're going to have in person with our families this is a big you know tradition that our families like to come to so they'll be awarded perfect attendance honor roll i excel studies pulse of the year kind cold safe cult and responsible student recognitions and musical events the green valley elks association drug awareness essay contest was done and we had students who participated julian alpha is sixth grade lewis harvey seventh grade and logan discounts eighth grade won the green valley health association essay contest for their grade levels
059at the local level and we're excited to announce that logan's sa won first place for eighth grade for the state of arizona his essay was selected to represent the state of arizona in the national drug awareness essay contest only one of three grade letters per state is interned in the alps national contest logan will receive a beautiful plaque and monetary award and his family they were very excited about this accomplishment and the students will receive their elks awards before the end of the school year so we'll keep you posted in case you would like to come to that it'll be here in our community room the arizona state science and engineer fair robert robert brubaker and race matthews received third place in behavior and social science area in the junior division and this friday mr
060ferguson has coordinated this event it's the green valley stage band performance it will be out on our basketball court from 1 30 to 2 15 and um since it's going to be warm we were hopefully it's going to be partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees and those storms come all of a sudden but um classes and a lot of this stuff has changed everything daily we were going to have them sit in the grass and we thought maybe not the football field and then we thought maybe we'll have them just bring blankets and stuff and they can sit out on the cement on the court but today we were yesterday we were discussing it's probably too hot mr ferguson and i so we're going to put chairs out there so it's going to
061be in the basketball court but if you can make it to this event after testing week it's something special too for our students since they'll be finished on friday and then we want to thank our generous donors and volunteers i left my paper over there for one of the donors i wanted to thank just that paper albert yes barbara hook she's donated supplies for us here at continental so we want to thank her i'd also like to take this time to thank the green valley rocks group they called us and said they wanted to do something special for our students they get together a lot and within five days their group came together and painted lots of rocks for the kids to hide in their classrooms or outside at least for their teachers to hike
062for them and then they also made rocks for our bus drivers personalized and then silver springs assisted living they came and they gave um little candy filled eggs for all of the students in our school they wanted to do something special for them too but i they were telling me that this is something they usually do where the students can go over there that they've done in the past so they're hoping that we can do that again next year and then officer connell and her canine presentation she came to speak to the second graders our second grade teacher set this up um some boys they were having a discussion about careers and some of the boys said that women can't beat police officers so this is actually a parent and one of the teachers thought
063it might be a good idea to have a guest speaker come in and and have her come and speak to the students and they asked her many questions and she's actually one of our first guest speakers that we've had this school year they loved it are there any questions and i just want to say that i do recognize we do mr latham and myself and the learning gap that has taken place and it is a big priority and we'll keep you posted on all the work that we're doing to make sure that we're closing that and also really really making it clear to our parents the importance of them coming to the things that we're planning so that they are progressing if they're learning can you force kids to go to saturday school i don't
064think we'll be able to force we can't force them to come in saturday school we can't force them to come to summer school but those conversations can take place as well about retention and if students are not learning we would have we'd go through the mtss which is our multi-tiered system support team and put them on them and parents have to come to those meetings and we have to discuss what the outcomes can be because their children are not reaching where they need to be and is it because they just haven't been here is it because they don't attend or is it because they're actually having issues with comprehension or processing so what happens if the parent doesn't come to ncss if they don't come then we go to them i've told that to parents
065before where they've told me that they cannot come and i scroll and we'll come to you it's out in the parking lot at your work and they ended up showing up also for our documentation for title purposes since we do use title funds to pay for students if the parents are declining summer school they have to sign a form that says they've declined summer school because of yada yada and dated and we let them know that that goes into their permanent file so that then the following year when we're recommending saturday school and we're saying you didn't come to summer school so it actually is building a case for the parent and the student and i really think that with studying with the student data binders and setting student goals and kids knowing exactly what
066they need to accomplish and knowing that you either do well in your interventions during the day or you're going to be in an after school tutorial and you're going to be at saturday school but we're not going to let kids off the hook yeah okay thank you thank you very much okay moving forward we have a consent agenda um which i posed i think this morning that said you were something on these questions i have not well anyway voucher 8033 yeah expense voucher 8033 um there's a bunch of book purchases on here a few of which kind of caught my attention and um i'm just interested in knowing what the use of these books is going to be i will be the first to admit that i've never been accused of being on the cutting
067edge of wokeness but i see one book that's been purchased that says my awesome brother and child's book about transgender acceptance written for children ages 4 and up um could we bring that that voucher up yes so just for starters those were the books that the counselor submitted 8033 all right here it is yeah so this was purchased by the counselor these were the um the books that the teacher that the counselor purchased so for maybe a specific circumstance we're not yes not in general so it's either so these are books that are in the library that can be used to refer a parent say a parent says i you know need some help in this area and and maybe the counselor would refer them to a book that's in the library so they're not
068in the library they're only with the counselor in her office to use it for one-on-one or we're not talking about including these in any curriculum no no they're solely her um books that she selected in terms of the social emotional learning piece for students and issues that are being addressed at school and in general with these students okay so they're not in our library thank you if i may i'm a little bit concerned i've heard social emotional today probably about eight times and you know i understand that it is the knowledge attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions set and achieve positive goals feel and show empathy for others establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions but i have a lot of parents that have are very concerned about who's in
069charge of that who's responsible who you know so here's another book an important lgbtq pride book for whatever for kids yeah for k.i for so love is love an important lgbtq pride book um so i you know i guessed that rainbow the first book of pride abc of equality all dogs have adhd uh you know i'm just um i'm is the counselor an employee of the of our district yes of your district so she is under your supervision and management yes i'm concerned about these books i just want to go on the record of saying i am concerned about them me okay good if we can talk to her to clarify you know the use of the books and how she went about selecting the titles the social emotional learning piece is really going to
070be dealing with self-esteem the equity issues the the stress the anxiety of kids during um you know returning to school so it's separate from the emotional intelligences it's more of the counseling aspect of kids the equity issues of kids when we do have a lot of these issues going on in our school so like maybe a kid moves here who has two dads and he's getting bullied and he goes to the counselor and she provides him with books to show him look you're you're not yes you're not a stain on society and then maybe the the kids that were bullies would also be pulled in in a separate session to maybe teach them not to pick on kids for those reasons yes would that be an example of how these books would be used yes
071and we also on a one a one-off situation where they're needed in a real life circumstance that these books apply to yes and again because this is such a big issue i mean you can't watch tv that we're not seeing something where i think now we had a zoom meeting that got leaked where the teacher is berating students for wanting to come back to school you know you can't you cannot watch news and not see this come up so i think as members of the board it's it is just incumbent upon us to pay very close attention to what's going on in speaking with our school counselor and keeping up to date with a lot of the issues that our students are going through from say intermediate elementary up into middle school some of the
072titles of those books are things she's been discussing with parents as well that i'm aware of and it and concerns that parents have been coming to the school counselor wanting some help with their just a question on the ashley montoya's didn't leave understand the circumstances what is our specific policy on this issue so if she is extending her need that has to be bought approved for her to continue for the duration that she's requesting and so this teacher was out on the term she's out on maternity leave we have since absorbed her students into the other two third grade classes so upon her return we were going to regroup the kids again and give her a class so now we're not going to do that because she's okay but i mean our standard leave policy
073is for a certain number of weeks i'm assuming and so this is in addition to that yes and so by by authorizing this we are in essence saying okay we're going to pay you for additional weeks of leave no um she's currently on fmla um and it's 12 weeks of a family so after fmlh if she needs more time then she needs to request it from the governing board that's what she's doing you're not paying her additional okay so it's just up to however many sick days she has remaining so she can use up her sick days and then once they run out because she's on beat without pain okay thank you and the last question i have on this is on the on the resignations do we conduct excellent interviews yes and who conducts
074those christians hr okay do you keep uh an analysis of that why people are leaving we keep what they do is they fill out a form explaining the reasons why they're leaving or any input that they would like to provide and we keep those on file do you do any analysis of that so that you can see if there's a trend in what you know are people leaving for more pay are they going up to whatever the magic district is i share it with administration so you share the report with them would it be possible for us to see that we can and i know that in these cases one of them is a change of career and the other one is still medical well i guess i'm thinking more longitudinal right because uh you
075know if you're gonna put up a good fight for the 301 money it'd be nice to have some data behind us okay further discussion okay mrs allen yes mrs price yes mr australian yeah thank you okay district financial report april 8th 2021 so within your packets you've got your and your monthly district financial report um i've got nothing special to report on the financial report but i will open it up to questions that anybody has maybe um and i i really have no questions about the financial report itself um can you tell us when we're going to get an update on the boundary financial i am calling them this week okay so hopefully by the next board meeting you'll have an update on the bond okay the second point that i just wanted to ask
076about is i think we ought to go to the insurance company that we purchased coveted liability insurance for and spent 28 000 because governor ducey signed sp 1376 about 10 days ago which was retroactive to march of 2020 that basically changed all the guidelines as far as how suits and on what basis suits can be filed to code changing it to a level of willful misconduct and gross negligence which is significantly higher bar and any actuarial studies that our insurance companies did in arriving at a 20 000 insurance premium it should be significantly less with this change which is retroactive to a year ago march and i think we should request a at least a partial refund of monies that we spent on that insurance okay so irbc already have an email to our department
077rep um she just happens to be on vacation this week okay so once i get something back i mean i think this ought to be done by every school in arizona this is not just for continental uh any school that purchased this insurance should be entitled to a refund thank you the financial statements you're ending june 30th each of you should have received a copy of our audit i believe you've received a copy yes does anybody not have a copy of it so i'm just going to open it up for discussion i'm sure that everybody like me spent many asleep with my ingredients it's very invigorating is there anything in here that would prov that i need to provide further clarification on or give you further insight i've got several questions about i don't know
078if it would be even appropriate this thing has just been released i'm sure you're still going through it i've already gone through it so well i mean in in specific detail and i don't i think in we've got to respond to some of these things i think but i've got a couple of questions that go beyond i am very concerned about the unfunded liability in the pension program and i and i realize that there's not a lot that we can do other than we need to anticipate some rather significant increases in contributions to the pension program in order to offset these unfunded liabilities we've got four million dollars of unfunded liability in our pension program applicable just a continental in the state of arizona based on the the percentages that are in here it's it's
079it's from almost 140 million dollars um but also remember that the pension program has about four billion dollars worth of assets i understand that but there's not enough assets to cover current uh liabilities if if we were to stop payments into the fund today there's not enough in there to give everybody their earned pension and and we're responsible for that four million dollars if for any reason the pension fund went out of business we would still have to cover the pensions in continental we're not relieved of that and and i'm shocked that the the unfunded liability has gone up in the last four years when you consider the stock market um uh we were 10 years of bull markets and yet our unfunded liabilities are going up which means that the pension fund is not
080collecting enough in contributions from the school and from the employees to cover the obligations that are in there and i i just uh it's a concern to me um i think it's a long-term concern uh and and listen there there isn't a public employee pension program that isn't in this situation they're all in trouble and i think that uh by ignoring it we're never going to address the issue that that really needs to be addressed and i it's a a major major concern to me well state retirement every year they do provide us with either an increase or a decrease i've never seen the decrease but i've heard you know that unicorn exists um state retirement next year is going to go up to 12.44 and that's the employee and the employer um the only
081other the only other question i that i have with regard to that if i couldn't find it quickly here i think it's on page 54. no that's not going well it's on page 44 and 45. on the very bottom of page 44 it says the district's contributions to the pension plan for the year were 354 000 and yet on page 45 it says at the bottom the district's pension expense for the year ended june 30th was 437 000. is the difference um uh that what goes to the unfunded portion greg or what's what's the difference between pension expense and pension contributions i honestly wondered if you want the honor to answer i like my level of knowledge was state retirement i only know so far and your question has exceeded well the state retirement fund
082is still using a seven and a half percent discount rate and obviously the funds are not earning that over an extended period of time and yet we they continue to use that uh that's still high they need to reduce that which would compound the problem on unfunded liability i've got you know i think there's other issues obviously in the audit we certainly need to know on the material weakness that was found by the auditors and and what our response to that is and uh that the controls that that are in place or that were not in place that that resulted in that situation so if you remember correctly when i brought you in i told you that reconciliations had not been done so i knew about this on day one okay um i remember also
083informing the board that i would not be making any adjusting journal entries until i could speak with the auditors face to face that way they could actually see the work i'm doing to reconcile with the county treasurer and with the county schools office that has happened i have reconciled to a point every month since july so as far as that material weakness it's been resolved okay and i know you were here right that's that's one of the reasons why that first week i was here i wanted to bring you in tell you the things that i have found that way there was nothing that that way you weren't left in the dark on anything okay it's not uncommon to have if you want to write down your questions and concerns we can send them to
084the auditor and the auditors can come to a board meeting to answer the specific questions that we have okay so you want to send me questions we can contact no because i mean on my specific concerns on the on on the pension liabilities um i mean the audit points them out you know it's the only people that can fix that is the people at stake absolutely and i'd rather have the people from arsa or asra here uh and and see what their response is to those questions thank you moving on to new business i'll entertain a motion please to approve the superintendent evaluation that we completed earlier now move that we approve the superintendent's evaluation performed on april 12 2021. thank you salary schedule special ed director i move that we approve the salary schedule
085for the sped director second certified new hires for school year 21-22 i move that we approve the two new hires for school year 21-22 second second discussion same thing for certified staff 21-22 i know that we bring back the certified staff listed in item d for 21 122. one second motion in a second how about some discussion i just want to reiterate that they are based on their current salaries pending budget approvals and possible increases mr allen yes mrs price yes mrs yes this is an approval for the insurance package for fiscal year 22. yes so just just for some background information when you go out for good for our health insurance we received two bids one was a forty four percent increase over what we currently have forty four percent of them from blue
086cross blue shield um our current provider came back with a we went back to them for our best and final and they came back at a 7 increase so we were able to to negate the increase of some so right now we're looking at employee contributions of 433 dollars per month for health care for employee health care and within this package we are also looking at adding a high deductible health plan as well as adding coverages within the vision plan so there will be an option for employees to get a little bit better coverage within their vision it's dealing mostly with the employees who have progressive lenses that's where those ones will see the most benefit thank you i'll move that we approve the employee benefits i second any further discussion just i think you
087did a good job yeah it wasn't me sir it was well i think this administration is negotiating these yes thank you mrs allen yes mrs keith yes mr osborne yes mr owler yes okay so i'm bringing this to you um as a possibility to add to our voluntary benefits um this is something that would be 100 employee paid it would not be an employer paid benefit um our current healthcare plan um air transportation is in there but depending on the plan you can have either a 200 copay for emergency air transportation or your deductible plus 15 after a 200 copay or a deductible plus after the 200 copay per trip if an employee is out of the banner or the fm network balance billing after these payments is also a possibility i have a good
088friend of mine when i was living in the white mountains he didn't have this particular company but he had a heart attack and he had to be flown into phoenix that flight was 75 000 without having a coverage like this that he went out and fought on his home he paid 120 for a year's worth of coverage that's all he was required to pay was 120 when he originally got his plan so it saved him and his family you know a good chunk of money the company that i am bringing forward to you today is one of the largest air medical carriers in the country they offer three different types of plans they offer a plan where they will fly you to the nearest you know hospital from the hospital they have a program called
089return new home which will actually fly you back to the closest possible to your home they also have an international coverage so you know when our teachers go out on on break over the summer and they're backpacking through europe they can actually be flown from europe back to the states and the thing with the international coverage is you don't have to have a year round you can just have it for the duration of your trip right now this this plan it's going to cost an employee for one year coverage about 55 so if an employee had to fly i'm already going to save that employee 145 dollars just off their co-pack by them purchasing into this plan um go ahead and scan to the to the slides no this one's gone this is fine so
090as you can see the company that i'm bringing forward to today is part of a network that includes the airbag life team guardian flight med transcorporation reach air medical services and they have right about 150 years worth of combined experience oh i'm sorry um they have a fixed ring and rotary grain so if somebody has to be flown somewhere so if the closest possible let's just take covet as an example if somebody needs a bet for coven and the closest place is duluth minnesota they will put them on a on a fly fixed-wing to the loop and get them in a hospital bed okay one of the nice things about this plan is that not only so if christina here was to buy this this plan for her it covers her and every member in
091her household so if christina had a student in college that student is still covered and it's still that one low price in order for her to have that type of coverage click this is just some information about locations of level ones and two trauma centers click so here's kind of an idea of what this actually does commission transport will be the closest appropriate medical facility for medical conditions that are deemed by the provider attending a medical professional to be life or limb threatening or could lead to permanent disability which require emergency air ambulance transportation a patient's medical communication and not their membership status will dictate whether or not air transportation is appropriate are required under all circumstances this provider retains the sole right responsibility to determine whether or not a patient is flown um just
092some more information about um third parties and other insurance click so they have over 400 providers across the united states that serve your air emergency needs other benefits are available to fly you home which is that information that i gave you earlier and they're looking at for future future growth into ground transportation kind of an overview of where um level one and terrible two trauma centers are across the country as you can see where we're at down here in the bottom of arizona our closest ones are going to be phoenix and if there's nothing available in phoenix we might be going to albuquerque we might be going to san diego los angeles isn't there one in tucson isn't that where they took representative giffords showing because when you take phoenix for an example eighty percent
093eighty percent of the hospitals within phoenix are level one or level two trauma centers yeah well the these slides are from 2014 so i think there i believe like you said there's two banner maine on campbell which is level one and then uh banner south on country clubs by the way yeah so here's some of the benefits of having an air ambulance network no out-of-pocket expenses are associated with a flight when flown by a participating air medicare network provider even if your claim is denied by the insurance membership like i said extends to the entire house household full-time undergraduate college students can be covered under their parents membership if their primary residence is still with the parents so this also will include a non-traditional household member so if christina is caring for her parents at
094her home and her parents need to be flown her parents are covered there's no limit to the number of transports a member can take each year this is completely voluntary it's going to cost an employee for the basic plan 55 a year and this is also something that we can do through payroll deduction so an employee doesn't have to dish out right away we can spread it out over over 112 24 26 different pay periods so when we re some of the requirements for us to do we have a web portal for districts enrollment we also have a paper enrollment and then whoever signs up would get the welcome pack and the membership card and everything else i actually still have my card from because i signed up for five years just some of the
095basic setup that we would need to provide them to get a set um that's what the enrollment form looks like on paper and that's really kind of it um i see the value in this um mr lake is not in here but if mr latham was hurt working up on the ranch and he needed to be flown out he's covered if i go home tonight and i get an accident on the freeway and i need to be flown out i'm covered my family doesn't have to worry about whether to pay my medical bill or for me to get better it's that peace of mind for families to know that their loved one is going to get taken care of and the cost is already taken care of if they need to be flown so greg
096will this be available to employees who do not have our school issues yes yes this is available to every employee whether they have our insurance or not this is also a benefit that is transferred so if christina signs up for this policy and she decides to leave next year and she bought a five-year term on this she'd still have four years wherever she goes so it's a completely transferable thing so it's not it's only good while you're here it's good for everyone whenever they go board members eligible i could probably swing board members travelers i want you guys to be satisfied prior to saying yeah or nay that you have all the information that you need this sounds more like a membership than a type of insurance correct it's it is a membership okay but
097it also isn't completely 100 covering any air medical transportation that needs to happen you know like i said with with our best plan that we have it's already gonna cost somebody at least two hundred dollars to be flown someplace and if they are being flown out of the banner or the network they could be balanced built you know whatever that cost is so if the insurance company says your 70 thousand dollar flight was only worth 25 000 the employee is now responsible for an additional fifty thousand dollars is there any minimum percentage of participation required no another question thank you sir i'll entertain a motion to add this as a voluntary benefit one second yes thank you motion passes specific field trip request obtain a motion for the uh civics field trip i'll move we
098approve the civic's future we got a lot of money in this account don't we there's plenty of time to change i mean far more than what this trip is going to cost correct yes because you also have to remember the money from last year's trip is still sitting there yeah they're actually bringing six ninth graders on trip with them great okay any further questions comments our our representative from legislative district 14 which is our state senator will be taking them through their civics piece of this yes so currently tower alliance and our lease is coming close to being done with them this is just to go ahead and extend the lease for an additional 35 years what we will be getting out of this is we will be getting an increase to our um our
099payments per year we'll be getting going from 15 000 a year to eighteen thousand dollars a year by signing the lease we will get an upfront payment of eighteen thousand dollars so one year's worth of these payments up front um in our current contract there was not an escalator so it was 15 000 from the beginning and it's 15 000 at the end so now there will be a two percent increase per year um if another company decides to put something on our tower so let's just say bob's cell service wants to put a repeater up on the tower the district will receive 10 as a revenue sharing of that some other additions to that will be giving american tower the right of first refusal with a confidentiality agreement and a non-compete clause which means
100we won't go out and try and sell our tower to somebody else we won't disclose to other companies what we are receiving as far as payment for our towers and if we ever wanted to to get out of the to sell the tower they had the first ranked first result to purchase it or not so with that i bring that to you for your approval tonight so i'll move a second motion in a second some discussion not knowing the going rate which is at least cell tower it just seems low too but it's actually a little on the high side yes can we get it decorated look like palm tree no we cannot country no we cannot i'm a lot of fun christmas further discussion on how we're going to decorate the tower summer academic
101program staff so we have our teachers this year who will be teaching summer school and like i mentioned it's approximately 25 thousand dollars under school i have title 1 and title 4. i'll move that we approve the summer academic program staff high second discussion that's good question um we pay all the teachers the same for summer school yes is there any reason why i mean i mean obviously these teachers are making different salaries during the year wouldn't wouldn't some of them be worth more during the summer school than others well for budgeting purposes we um dollars an hour per teacher um so that it's equal across the board on whatever is teaching all right and they're okay with this okay any questions okay thank you april may vince we are so close to the end
102of the semester [Music] um so we won't have to go no i'm just i think we need to keep our eye on the house and the senate they're going to sign he died probably about mid-may to late may and we just want to keep track of what's going on up there thank you for all you do thank you everyone recessed um
